What the fuck. Not once in all of the guides i followed did they even once mention that if i want my mods to work i have to launch SSKE from inside MO2. I've spent a very long time trying to get mods working and always failed because i was trying to launch SSKE directly
Hallelujah everything seems to work! now to compress it to a 7z file and save a copy so i don't have to go through this again.
I thought about sharing it but it references filepaths that have my home folder name (which is my actual name) and i don't know if i can edit all of them.
Got some news:
- Sierra has pushed out a last major update for Last Sovereign. It will be completed this year I think, there's still the optional dungeon and proper epilogue to finish up as well as the chapter 4 and 5 art assets but when she was making it she was worried the ending would end up like ME3's ending. I can say it ties up everything quite nicely, looking forward to restarting it again.
I was reading RPGCodex's book on CRPGs and Last Sovereign got mentioned in the RPG Maker section.
The image above is from the top of the Succubus Tower in Stineford. I know the maps way too well.
They also mention Sengoku Rance and Kamidori as well as a few early titles from the 90s. It's a decent read.
- Something Unlimited has somehow gotten even lazier. Between the last updates, Smoke announced that they were going to start using AI art, having taken inspiration from the AI art and re-draw threads on Fagzone.
Yes there is the real possibility that the guy who's been head swapping models and lazily drawing the same body type since 2018 may just include AI art because he's gotten that lazy. Needless to say the community mocked them, to the point that in the recent update even members of the discord were asking about it
- A thing I've noticed with the Patreon scrapper Kemono.su is that sometimes for weeks at a time the Pateron codes won't scrape content from accounts. It will still work on sites like Pixiv's fanbox but not Patreon. This has happened at least 3 times over the past few months. And looking at a few posts on their imageboard reveals it's because Patreon has done the same thing Twitter has and has introduced anti-scrapping features into the website. It takes the furries weeks to calibrate the scrapper to work with the account codes again.
- An Observation: I finally found this video again. It's about a man who draws Oark Cahntent in South Boston.
It's that line of "I use to get into fights in the yard and my teachers said I'd never amount to much." His love of the big green muscle women has kept him out of jail despite being from a household where his father beat him and drank alot. It makes me think of how many other porn artists are out there from similar miserable circumstances like a broken family or living in a bad country and yet can making a living by drawing smut on the internet. Back in the day when Princess Trainer first came out, Akabur made so much money off of Patreon the bank wouldn't let him withdrawal more than 10k rubles a day or so for example.
- Three minor things. I'm seeing the term "AVN" or "Adult Visual Novel" pop up to describe the plague of renpy trash that gets abandoned on Fagzone. I don't know if this is used in other circles but 'renpy trash' has always worked for me so why stop there. Second one is I'm seeing alot of games, both east and west move over to Steam. Chinese devs that make waifu games, Japanese devs that avoid the extra censorship on Dlsite, western devs that only publish to steam and not itch.io for some reason and steam that'll accept lewd python text games. I'm not gonna search steam for stuff but it's weird when I type the name of what I'm looking for into google and get back a link to it's itch.io and steam store front pages as results. Third is Eve from Stellar Blade. I don't know if you know but the actress involved took a full body scan in motion capture for the character model. That was then ripped by porn artists to use in their animations. I think it's a recent example where animators have direct access to an actress's measurements taken for the game.
Stuff I've tried:
Stormside: Wants to be like The Headmaster. Plus side is everything, and I mean everything is animated. Kind of impressive from a technical point of view, the downside is there's 7 heroines advertised and only 3 have major scenes after 2 years of work. I'd say let it cook but I think it's going to be abandoned.
What a Legend: Just a news part to say it's been 2 years since it go the abandoned tag on Fagzone. The couple making the game have 2 kids now, so I think it'll be a few more years if they decide to resume it.
Null Hypothesis: This one was originally a Rogue-like mod that split off after the creator said he was making his own game not tied to Oni's bad coding skills and artists with a different style. He delivered but there are some noticeable differences. The sprite art for Rogue, X-23 and Jean is a step up from Rogue-Like. They even have personalities with more interaction now. The problem comes with that interaction though. You get the feeling that the guy who's making it doesn't really want to make it, there's a sense of pessimism through the whole thing. The biggest change between the two games comes to the sexual interface. In Rogue-Like, there's alot of non verbal cues. Kissing then the girl nods as you change action for example. It's natural and in the moment. In Null, you always ask for consent on every action. "Can I kiss you? Can I touch your tits? Can I touch your thighs? Can I kiss you again?" Usually most games have one affirmation at the beginning then just proceed with the scene. I think this is the only game where you have to ask for every single little action.
Masters of Raana: Dev went part time to working full time on this one, almost a year now I think. I'm still not sure what to make of this. It's his custom built engine and setting, with a full battle and capture system and yet I'm not actually sure what he wants to do with it. It seems aimless but he's making 21k a month on Patreon due to having closed alpha builds locked behind a discord paywall, meaning that people pay $25 a month to access it. $25 x 1,300 is alot of money. I say let it cook, maybe it'll become more focused as it develops.
Love & Sex: Second Base: This is a big one that's gotten monthly updates since 2018. It's a typical sandbox game and it's expanded in scope massively. 21 heroines, male or female protag, full night and day cycle. And that's when the problems begin. The first one is the stat system. 4 stats to manage that will always decrease, which means you have to juggle that, dating one of the heroines which requires finding them at the required time, like 18:00 at the pub for the next event for instance. It's quite a hassle. And even if you get past the grinding, the content really isn't worth it. The story is very word heavy as the male protag and the female one doesn't have many routes. It's an okay VN I guess, but it's a very bloated example of western adult game deving.
An interesting thing I've noticed is 4 different sandbox games with 4 different modes of time travel as a cheat device. Corruption of Champions for example has a simple reverse time function. College Daze has a check point system on a linear timeline yet the effects still carry over, meaning you can have lunch with 5 different people and trigger effects for all 5. Hentai Highschool has the Timelord system, meaning you can go to a time and place to trigger a scene. 20:00 by the fountain then skip to 10:00 three days later at their home for example. Second Base has timelord but another mod gives you a wrist watch to jump back 6 hours or fast forward up to a day. It just makes me wonder not just about the broken sandbox systems these games have but on how the effects of going back and still having effects go forward would effect a timeline. In Second Base for example you can get all 3 stats maxed in the first day yet sleep over 30+ times changing the season.
Defending Lydia: Overrated renpy trash. Jesus I don't know where to start with this one. A simple thing would be the computer the game makes you use at multiple times. It's been changed 3 times over the course of development. Can't use your mobile phone anymore but can use email. It speaks of a dev who's gained experience, improved it but hasn't gone back to fix the earlier versions of the game. Not to mention you can only be on one route per game makes me not want to retry it.
Company Man: This one recently ended and it's uhh... The basic premise of a Selectacorp game is a guy encouters a powerful white female then slowly debases her until the power shifts over to him. This is the first game to have a semi decent gameplay loop that wasn't custom coded in flash. Those games run like ass. Here, you start off as a new hireling at a female lead corperation and through blackmail, bribery and coersion, start ascending the ladder, eventually becoming the CEO. The point where the game turns is around the mid corperate ladder and then the overseas missions. When you reach the middle you have to replace all the female heads of departments with more compotent male heads... and then you essentially pimp them out as party favors. And that's when the game changes from corperate climb to international pimping. You see the Dev got rejected by a white woman once I think so he hates them the same way /pol/ feels about jews, he has that drive to utterly destroy them. First stop is Singapore where you get a mind control chip, second stop is Africa where blacks rule over whites. Instead of doing what the colonials did 300 years and appreciate the natives, you drug the water supply to increase white births as a permenant slave cast. Third stop is London where you help an Indian hedge fund humiliate the british Crown and insert a punjab as next in line for the throne. Next stop Dubai where instead of capturing and training a Saudi princess, you hand her back and and help the arab with all manner of genetic experiments and stuff only the Saudi's can afford. Last stop is Moscow where the Oligarchs and Generals are custom ordering people from the west, including MTF trannies.
You can tell alot about the dev. Pimping every woman you come across and putting every white person in a worse position in whatever region you travel too. It's this weird combination of misogyny and racial degredation that every white woman must submit. It gets real tired after awhile, do not play this one.
Not familiar with Skyrim modding these days. I do know that Bethesda has rolled out patches that fuck with modders and the biggest collection on Nexus has 3,400 mods, most of those being outfits that take up way too much space.

@Coolio55
He has an inactive reddit account with two recent posts. One posting about a book on r/BlackWorldOrder, the other referencing a meat store in Newcastle, Australia. There's also a deviantart account that also lists Australia and Male as pronouns. Can't find anything on race.
I'm not trying to hype up, just highlight how it starts off as a decent climbing corporate sim where you supposedly become a kingpin but instead become KING PIMP as one review on fagzone put it. It grows old quickly.
Just remembered, Tales of the Unending Void had an update a few months ago. Was curious about what the dev of Sisterly Lust was up do so I skipped through it a bit till I met a tranny character. Checked the gallery instead and that update had added 4 scenes, 2 for normal characters, 2 for that tranny character as well as a second one. There was a 69 scene with the protag sucking a dick. That's when I quit.
Remember, just because it's "optional," doesn't mean the time and effort going into writing and rendering the scene is. It's a deliberate decision to appeal to trannies that will pledge on patreon.
So Adeptus Steve decides to do a cross promo game with another shitty studio that's making a game involving Projekt Melody, everyone's favorite two-faced, sjw-ethot vtuber (long story short: Melody is not a nice person the more you know about her, and she's tied to Vshojo, a very infamous vtuber company). The reception? Well...
It wasn't well received knowing Wild Life is still in development hell. In fact, the clown made another update about the game, but he hid it behind a paywall to spite the "haters."
I am glad I dropped this game after the Kickstarter fiasco.
Mentioned this before, reading through the history of CRPGs has a few titles relevant to this thread like Rance and Kamidori. However it's in the early history of the mid 90s that I found something new, the first case of "cyber-rape" to be reported in a video game.
It's involved in the history of MUDs, which were the first MMOs. MUD or Multi-User Dungeon was a very primitive version of RPGs, evolving from the PLATO university computer system in the mid 70s. By the 90s in Asia, one MUD was making over $100k a month in mainland china because it was so popular. Users would log in and use ccommands to explore and generally interact with the community, there's always been that divide between gameplay and socialization and this particular MUD, LambdaMOO, was more focused on socialization.
The "cyber rape" that happened involved the usage of a script or "voodoo doll" which could attribute actions one user was doing on another. Mr Bungle, for example, was accused to doing inappropriate sexual actions towards other avatars to the point where the entire society of the MUD changed. One victim was quoted as "post-traumatic tears were streaming down her face".
What was once a simple simulation started to become organized. The game didn't have any dedicated mods or ban system but after this, full time mods were introduced and the creator of the MUD introduced a kick system that people could vote on for anyone being disruptive. This might seem like simple things today but from a sociological point of view, the way the inhabitants reacted to Mr Bungle by having lengthy debates in the mailing list and then forming a new way the internal society would run is the reason that Julian Dibbell originally wrote the article.
This article was read by Lawrence Lessig which is what influenced him to go into cyber security and law at Harvard. Lessig would eventually found the Creative Commons license in 2001. "Cyber-rape" still happens in games today.
The final chapter of the Monmusu RPG will be released later this year.
However, the release date will be around the time when you no longer feel the heat.
The next renewal (except for the monthly renewal of paid plans) may be an
announcement of the release date.
The final chapter will have the following volumes, as already mentioned.
・ Until the Great Choice: 5 ~ 7 hours (released in the final chapter trial version)
・ Heavenly Route: 30 ~ 50 hours
・ Demon Route: 30 ~ 50 hours
As previously reported, post-ending events and additions, as well as major updates to the
second mode and end content (Labyrinth of Chaos), will be added in
post-launch updates.
The "about 750 types of accessories and about 2400 types of secret stones" in the introduction image is a number that includes items that can be obtained with additional elements after the
ending.
There are also a very small number of characters who become friends at events after the ending.
Event Introduction
Sabasa, the celestial realm, is a large farm nation ruled by Buri Gaera.
What ...... the secret behind it?
The Gran Gordo of the Demon World is a nation ruled by Kanon.
